b101 I saw you ask for tutorial ideas. One that would be right up your wheel hosue but helpful to others is INTENTIONAL Fairway sculpting; especially as you love to point out around the greens. How to make those ridges and undulations people ride to the green, or intentionally there to push a poor shot away from the green is something I personally understand in theory but am not sure exactly how to implment in practice. Also this question may be a bit of my American showing. Having not much intimate experience with links style courses. It definitely won't cover everything, but here's the video I put together. Not so much of a quick tips this time around, but there's a lot to get through! Plus, Jeremy's course plot video, which is essential viewing. |

I like to draw out my holes before jumping in the designer. On my first course I included some purposeful ground game but the moves I was a bit too deliberate sculpting and I think it came off a bit manufactured. My second course I used the brush in the middle 4th row down on page three a little over a foot up and down to make random undulations but in terms of purposeful ground game that was more of an afterthought. Working on my third and forth courses right now and trying to make ground game more of a tool. The trick is finding the balance between my planning and using what the game gives me after randomizing the plot. Good advice here how to do that. |

Per request - here is part one on Sightlines. I felt this was best split into Sculpting and Framing sections. Second part coming tomorrow.

Appreciate that greens video - took a lot from it. More people should be watching this - pretty much guarantees golf course improvement if you watch it. Great work Ben!
